Sherry’s Blueberry Cream Cheese Crumb Cake: The Ultimate Breakfast or Dessert Treat! 💙🍰

If I could only bake one thing for brunch guests, it would be this Blueberry Cream Cheese Crumb Cake. It’s got everything — a soft buttery cake base, pockets of creamy cheesecake-like filling, bursts of juicy blueberries, and a sweet, cinnamon-kissed crumb topping. One bite and you’ll understand why it disappears fast every time I make it.

It’s easy enough for a weekday treat, special enough for holidays, and yes… freezer-friendly so you can make it ahead for guests. I promise — once you bake this, it’s going straight into your “keeper” file.

Why You’ll Love This Cake

• Creamy + fruity + crunchy — all in one slice.

• Fresh or frozen blueberries both work beautifully.

• Make ahead & freeze — it tastes just as good after thawing.

• Crowd-pleaser — doubles as breakfast, dessert, or a snack with coffee.

What It Tastes Like

Think of it as a mash-up of blueberry muffin, New York-style cheesecake, and buttery crumb coffee cake. Each forkful has a little bit of everything — tender cake, creamy tang from the cheese layer, and the sweet crumble that makes you go back for “just one more bite.”
